Stuff relevant to cyberbullying, stalking and other kinds of harassment seem like under-reported in the media. It certainly would be useful if more people continued with these types of discussions. It doesn't matter if it is a celeb, merely a teen, or a co-worker.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f131186ecad049f640000adEvangeline CorzoSun, 15 Jan 2012 12:48:54 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f131186ecad049f640000ad
Hi Betsey, I'm very sorry to hear about your son's allergies. I have all the recipes you are looking for in this site. Please do take time to check the appropriate sections. Check the Baking Recipes section in the menu bar and you will be able to locate recipes under various categories. However I'm listing a couple of my favorite recipes below:http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f1267a9eab8ea9d74000007Paul WSun, 15 Jan 2012 00:44:09 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f1267a9eab8ea9d74000007
Android continues to grow because there are several companies that create all sorts of screen sizes, physical keyboard, water resistant, super thin, smash resistant, powerful processor, super small, etc and they all are running android running on it. This is the main reason people will buy android phones. iPhone comes with 1 basic model that has been practically unchanged since it's been released. Apple is running on a failure business model, they will continue to dwindle down market share and likely buzz around a smaller percentage while Android continues to make strides in performance and user interface as well as companies producing the hardware are able to make stronger, lighter, and more powerful android phones. There's no way Apple is ever going to be able to compete unless they change their core business model, they're just barely hanging on and this is likely their last big burst in sales.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f126503eab8ea265f000038Paul WSun, 15 Jan 2012 00:32:51 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f126503eab8ea265f000038
Your comment gives me a headache just reading it. (1) Android does not "crash"? On older phone you may have an application that will stop responding or a poorly written app may crash. (2) There are several android phones that have a faster processor, more RAM, more space, removable SD card, larger screen, etc. (3) "it's stolen" -- makes no sense at all. Android is open source and any developer who wants to customize it can do it legally. (4) Viruses and spyware are practically non-existent, same with iOS. They exist on BOTH iOS and Android, but rarely infect phones because the app store + android market remove malicious apps quickly. (5) Yes the android OS is free, you got something right.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f1263726bb3f7145400002cPaul WSun, 15 Jan 2012 00:26:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f1263726bb3f7145400002c
You do not understand the graph if you say this. This graph does not show the percentage of everyone who owns a device, it just shows who is buying the device in a particular quarter. So in that quarter more people bought iOS devices than in the previous quarters, but it does not mean all those people switched, though -some- likely did.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f12623cecad042d38000009PaulSun, 15 Jan 2012 00:21:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f12623cecad042d38000009
So it seems this article managed to attract every iPhone fanboy online.. Android is obviously free and also open source. All of Google's apps are free, but are not open source (some actually are). I've read so many blatantly wrong things in these comments, things that you can easily paste into google and see how ungodly and terribly wrong they are.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f120364eab8eaaf3d000003Janel BartmanSat, 14 Jan 2012 17:36:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f120364eab8eaaf3d000003

Android has nothing to retain customers. All free apps are available in other platforms too.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b7428eab8eaf15c000020AlexBCMon, 09 Jan 2012 18:11:36 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b7428eab8eaf15c000020
This comparison doesn't even make sense. You may as well compare Mac OS X to Linux. "iOS" represents a completely integrated, tightly closed hardware-software package that runs on literally a handful of devices, and is enormously profitable; "Android" is an open-source OS that Google loses money on by giving it away. Maybe if Google takes a more active stance in developing integrated devices like the Nexus, then a comparison might be apt.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b6eaeeab8ea6b4d000045Encino ManMon, 09 Jan 2012 17:48:14 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b6eaeeab8ea6b4d000045

The iPhone 3gs is being given away by the carriers in return for a two year contract. Apple still gets paid for the phone.
I don't think there were many rushing to buy the iPhone 4 at Best Buy.
But even if you are right these figures seem to prove that Apple's tack is working. Those falling Android figures must have you mightily upset tim.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b5feceab8eae139000017modelportfolio2003Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:45:16 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b5feceab8eae139000017
@Jay
Interesting on a day when Chitika Analytics says that Android web browsing, including Amazon devices, overtook Apple's iOS in the US and Canada in December. Data from Chikita Insights says that following the Christmas season Android's share of mobile browsing---in which it includes Amazon's Kindle Fire---leapt by 5.5% to overtake iOS in North America with a 51.6% share of web traffic, up from 46.1% in November. Apple's iOA, which includes its iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch fell from 51.7% to 46.5% in the same period. For your info, RIMM saw its share squeezed from 1.7% to 1.5% while Microsoft's Windows Phone and Mobile platforms saw their share shrink from 0.5% to 0.4%.
The rapid growth in Android browsing in North America tallies with Andy Rubin's data who said Android was seeing 700,000+ activations of Google Android devices per day and then on Dec 27 that there were 3.7 million Google Android devices activated on Dec 24 and Dec 25. Of note Rubin's figures do not include the Kindle Fire or the Nook as these devices do not contact Google's servers, even though Chitika includes them.
And the rise in Android tallies with other data from Freelancer.com, a jobs site, which found that jobs posted working on Android products rose by 33% in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 2454 (from 1845) while those for iPhone products grew less quickly, by 18% to 3682.
Well done Android!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b5d4eeab8eaa637000019timhobbesMon, 09 Jan 2012 16:34:06 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b5d4eeab8eaa637000019
The I-Phone 3 is free with contract. The I-Phone 4 was being offered in BOGO deal at Best Buy.

Surely it is obvious, the iPhone 4S was release on October 14th, a lot of people will have received upgrades on contract phones in this quarter, at the same time very few new Android, or other phones, were released in the same quarter.

I didn't say you could. Just $0 iPhones. Which drove business. Just like $0 Android phones.

This is without T-Mobile and several large regional networks. I expect this will happen in 2012, giving Apple access to an additional 35 million US consumers
If 75% of T-Mobile's 30 million customers buy smartphones and iPhone captures 50% share, that is another 11 million phoneshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b51db6bb3f7d20c000002PopoMon, 09 Jan 2012 15:45:15 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b51db6bb3f7d20c000002
This article is meaningless. Android is a free operating system. Apple is a premium-priced hardware mfr. comparing OS penetration might make someone somewhere feel good, but it means nothing. Apple is crushing every other brand of phone. This is not 1998. Stop talking about operating systems. That's not what people are buying. (particularly in this case when one of the OS's is free and is a loss leader)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b510d6bb3f7860800000fSammy the Walrus IVMon, 09 Jan 2012 15:41:49 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b510d6bb3f7860800000f
I think you are underestimating the popularity of iPhone.
People said the same thing directly following the iPhone 4 release. Apple then continued to post record quarterly iPhone sales in 2010 and 2011.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b50966bb3f79b08000017RattyUKMon, 09 Jan 2012 15:39:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b50966bb3f79b08000017

You really think "launch moment" lasts 2 months for a new iPhone?
iPhone 3GS remains a top seller at AT&T. The phone was introduced in 2009.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b4f03ecad042c62000048Sammy the Walrus IVMon, 09 Jan 2012 15:33:07 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b4f03ecad042c62000048
Oh please Jay, don't act so surprised.
iPhone has had 40% market share for some months now and it was no big secret back in November. If you did the math (I already did - back in November), we had AT&T and Verizon smartphone sales numbers for 3Q11 and you can make projections for how iPhone 4S would sell. Conclusion was iPhone share at 40% was very doable in 4Q11.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b4edeecad042e6200003eHenry BlodgetMon, 09 Jan 2012 15:32:30 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b4edeecad042e6200003e
Very impressive. A couple of caveats, though.
This captures the launch moment--October and November--after six months of flagging sales. So not surprising that there's a big pop.
It's also US-only. My guess is the global move will be far less significant.
Still impressive, though. People do love their iPhones.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b4e66ecad042e62000035UYTRMon, 09 Jan 2012 15:30:30 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f0b4e66ecad042e62000035
